When did all algorithms become AI?

Whether an algorithm is AI essentially depends on whether the objective is 1) human level difficult and/or 2) heuristic.

It should probably be both to avoid moving goal posts. That would make even chess algorithms still AI.

Self driving cars and image recognition are both definitely still AI.

"AI" does not typically mean strong or general AI.

What do you mean by latency in this context?

Probably really means highly variable latency, i.e. jitter, where the RTT spikes horribly, which will cause packets to assumed to be dropped.

I feel like you build a model which you implement in software. (which runs on hardware)

Really interesting. In the end, how did the results compare with the locations of established client firms, e.g. kpmg, accenture, pwc, e and y, deloitte, bcg, mckinsey, bain?

Leaving at 5pm is the norm in Germany only in very particular circumstances. Most people I know are stuck until 18:30 or so.

Interesting. I worked for a multinational, we had a (brilliant) German intern who worked in our FR headquarters, very long hours. Then she moved back to Germany in a local division, where she was always the last one closing the lights, by a long shot. It might be the effect of headquarter vs local company, perhaps, but 5pm is what I saw in most plants in Germany.

Or how positively we view life.

This is where the EU view of a company having its customers, its shareholders, and its employees as stakeholders all having rights makes a difference. If your view is shareholder primacy, that only the shareholder matters, then you end up with a very different system.

Do we really all need to live as if we were in the military? Don't people go to war so others can live in peace?

So, horribly unreadable xml config files?

Like S-expressions don't exist. Or even goddamn JSON. Come on, we don't have to jump from one stupidity (unstructured text) to another (using XML as a data representation format).

CSON or .desktop / .service or something similar is immediately understandable to most people and doesn't waste time with unnecessary tokens like XML does.

Not necessarily. JSON is not bad, _if_ you allow comments. Even plain-jane key/value config files can be sanity-checked. I suspect part of the problem is that anything fancy like that is awkward to do in C, so people take the lazy way out.

It's in the original paper in which he derives the normal distribution. Well worth a read. I last had a copy of it in the fourth basement down in the university library about fifteen years ago - it might be still there.

Try the insurance industry in Germany. I did nine interviews for a gig, got it, and then the budget for the position was cancelled. :)

Well, I politely declined the next stage when I heard it was a brain teaser round. I don't really seem to do well in brain teasers. I don't at all get a kick out of puzzles that aren't a means to an end. Does anybody else have that feeling?

What gets me is the numerous companies that expect you to do this, or take a day or two to build a mini project before even getting the chance to speak to anyone technical about the job.

>I heard it was a brain teaser round

A brain teaser? Like a puzzle? Or do you mean a coding interview?

Brain teasers haven't been asked in years AFAIK.

The term brain teaser was used explicitly. It would have been something data science/statistics related.
